August 1971. The football teams of England, Argentina, Mexico, France, Denmark, and Italy are gathered in the sun-drenched Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. The championship is gigantic: lavish sponsorship, extensive television coverage, merchandise for sale at every turn, and a crowd of over 100,000 roaring fans transform this historic stadium into a cauldron of noise at every match. The fawning media treats the teams like rock bands. The atmosphere recalls the greatest moments in international football history. But this championship is completely different from all the others. Only women play on the pitch. And chances are you've never heard of it. It's Copa '71, the unofficial Women's World Cup. Ignored by both governing bodies and national football associations around the world, this event has been written out of history. Until now.
